A large percentage of the ignitions we use fire immediately after they are powered up. Usually just once. Since I'm not an electronic guru type I'll leave the reason for this to someone that truly knows.

Aside from the fact that they will fire when initially charged, why do so many people fail to learn about what they have or treat a propeller like it will never bite? Anyone ever consider standing under the blade of a full scale propeller? A magneto equipped engine can fire at least once after it's stopped if the "p" lead is not grounded. That's not too bright either, is it?

As long as there are people that really believe that everything is simple plug and play there wil be people getting hurt. I feel for those that do, but they need to recognise that if they read the insrtuctions for what they have a very large percentage of them would never have had a problem. That may not be the case with the individual noted in the first post but all too frequently it is.
